A UK restaurant that claims to serve the world's hottest curry is in the search for customers who can meet their spice challenge.Featured on Sky’s Hot and Dangerous show with comic Omid Djalili, the Crocodile Inferno is the brainchild of Tony Uddin, the owner of The Dilshad restaurant in Cannock, Staffs. The curry contains a combination of some of the world’s hottest chillies, including The Trinidad Scorpion Butch T. chilli pepper, the Ghost chilli pepper, and the infamous Carolina Reaper - the world’s hottest chilli. Cash prizes are being offered to those brave enough to attempt the dish, which is made out of crocodile meat and which is reportedly twice as hot as police pepper spray. The curry is so hot that the chefs at the Dilshad have to wear gas masks while preparing it as the fumes are almost overpowering.

Uddin said: “We think the time has come to crown our Crocodile Inferno champion. We have had a handful of people finish the meal but this will be against the clock against other competitors. “It could be quite dangerous so we will be asking people taking part to sign a disclaimer. People have been known to hallucinate while trying the Crocodile Inferno. We would only encourage people who really enjoy very hot curries to take part.” Several people have tried, but only a few have succeeded. Many have fallen foul of the Crocodile Inferno, including comedian Djalili who famously took it on on Sky's Man v Food challenge. Competitors will have to eat a large portion of Crocodile Inferno, together with rice and naan, against the clock, with the winner being the first guzzle it all down. Those who complete the meal can win £150 and a T-shirt to honour of the achievement. Husband and wife curry fanatics Wez and Caroline Cartwright from Derbyshire became the first people to succeed in the Crocodile Inferno challenge. The couple spent several weeks in training, eating hot curries to build up a resistance to extremely high levels of curry spice.
